Batmobile?

How interesting would it be to see a Black FR-S/BRZ look like the batmobile?

I have a Raven FRS and the first thing my sister and sister-in-law said when they saw the car was "Ooooh! Looks awesome; like the Batmobile"

That was when I stopped second guessing if I should have waited for a Whiteout.

I can see a number of Ravens taking the "Dark Knight" theme. Would be pretty interesting to see what they come up with.

Because he answered the question that was asked?


For me, it would depend on the style of Batmobile? 1960's? Tim Burton's? The Tumbler? I think the FT86 would translate well into a Tim Burton-esque Batmobile.

Styling wise, it would be cool but I don't think there's enough room for all of the Bat-gear. If Robin was with you, that would be OK, but if Batgirl wanted to go along too, who would get stuck in the back bat-seat?
I think as Batman, you would have problems keeping up with arch villains like the Joker and Two-Face (who could afford more expensive, much faster cars) not to mention that if you did catch them and defeat those dastardly fiends, shoving them into the trunk for transport to Arkham Asylum would be a civil liberty human violations infraction of cruelty to villains.
Plus, other multi-billionaire super heroes (like Ironman) would be laughing their asses off at you for choosing the FR-S as your themed transportation mode.

Youve seen the "Bat Signal" for the rear fog light (if you hook it up), right?

The 86 has a headstart. The tail lights already match the 60's Batmobile headlights only upside down.



Of course for it to be the 60's version, it would have to be a convertible. In the end, I think that it would be pretty easy to make it a more modern batmobile runabout though. Maybe Toyota needs to get hooked into the next Bat movie and to a Transformer/Camaro-style badging version.

The DAMD kit in this thread (and photo below) is a good start:
